The Leidos logo will remain on D.C. United’s jersey for at least three more MLS seasons.
The club and government contractor have agreed to extend their deal through 2018, the Insider has learned.
The Reston-based firm has served as United’s primary sponsor since 2014, with branding on the team jersey, at RFK Stadium and on other platforms. The initial agreement ran through the 2016 season, with options for the subsequent two years. The sides had until this past December to exercise it through 2017 and ’18 but agreed to extend the deadline as talks continued.
